This is a discussion on SoCal WRX FlatFour (F4) within the South Western States forums, part of the Regional Discussion category; im thinking of parting out my car then selling it and use the cash as a downpayment for a new ...

the spark plug for cylinder 4 was super clean and looked new while the others (1,2,3) had the normal wear on them.

time to start looking into getting a new block since building my current one would need lots of work. any suggestions? crawford? custom build it? im thinking of keeping it 2.0 since i would need lots of other mods to support 2.5 i.e. heads, porting etc.

if you have a blown head gasket check your oil stick and see if it has water?

that depends on how the gasket is blown. if it's only blown between the cylinder and water jacket, then there won't be water in the oil. but you should still check oil just in case though. if coolant did into the oil system, can be very bad for bearings.
hope it didn't blow that bad.
as for leak down test, you might be able to borrow the adapter from parts store, and since anson is bringing compressor to the install meet we can check it there.

i would still go wit a crawford since they havea a hi rep and they also make 2.0 blocks so that would be great for you since you still want a 2.0 block

hey since im getting defi gauges i am going to sell my omori boost gauge if any one is interested and possibly the indash bezel pod if i dont think a 60mm gauge can be fit into it so if any one is interested let me know

if it is a bad cylinder ring then i might go with AXIS stage 1 2.2L block
it might be a crack in the head since when i was tightening down the spark plug for #4 it wouldnt tighen down all the way while the other 3 spark plugs tightened down nicely. hmmmmm any ideas?
